Answer:

The number must be added to complete the square is  16

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

x^2 - 8x = 39    ------(1)

The quadratic equation is of the form ax^2  + bx + c =0

To complete the square we have to add (b/2)^2 and subtract (b/2)^2

Therefore the eq (1) becomes

here b= -8, so we have to add (8/2)^2 = 4^2 = 16

Therefore the number is 16

<u>To find x</u>

x^2 - 8x  = 39

Add 16 to both sides

x^2 - 8x +16  = 39 + 16

(x - 4)^2 = 55

x - 4 = √55

x = √55 -4

Answer:

Given equation: x^2-8x =39

when we complete the square , we take half of the value of 8 , then square it, and added to the left sides, we get;

x^2-8x+4^2 = 39 +4^2

∵8 is the value (\frac{8}{2})^2

Notice that, we add this both sides so that it maintains the equality.

then;

x^2-8x+4^2 = 39 +4^2

(x-4)^2 = 39 + 16   [ (a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2 ]

Simplify:

(x-4)^2 =55

The number must be added to complete the square is, 4^2 = 16

Question<br> (X-5y/y3)-1=
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

x  = y^3+5y

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

\frac{x - 5y}{y^3} - 1=0\\

Required

Solve for x

We have:

\frac{x - 5y}{y^3} - 1=0

Collect like terms

\frac{x - 5y}{y^3} = 1

Multiply through by y^3

x - 5y = y^3

Make x the subject

x  = y^3+5y

The function f(x)=x^2 and its transformation f(x)=(x-k)^2 are shown below. What is the value of k?
Leto [7]

Answer:

<h2>f(x - k) = (x - k)²⇒ k = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + n - shift the graph n units up

f(x) - n - shift the graph n units down

f(x - n) - shift the graph n units to the right

f(x + n) - shift the graph n units to the left

==============================================

Look at the picture.

The graph has been shifted 5 units to the right.

Therefore we have f(x - 5).
